@ BLJ: I could be wrong, but I think he upset some people with some comments he made about Liverpool. I think some Liverpudlians felt that he was disparaging the city and they vandalized a statue of him as a result.

On the Jonathon Ross show he was asked if he missed Liverpool, and he said “no”. That was the extent of it. But still enough to annoy a few people, like he’s meant to say he’d rather live in NW England than California… again, just more people with fixed ideas on what a Beatle should do and say
